Your cellphone is your lifeline to the outside world. Without it, you might as well be some caveman, lost in time and pounding out text-messages on cavern walls in pig blood. Please, for the sake of all that's digital, we must not - nay WILL NOT allow that to happen! As long as there is breath in our lungs, and conveniently packaged 2800mAh chemical-electric storage cells in convenience stores, our cellphones will NEVER die!

When you're in a rush and need a super handy dandy turbocell charger, this is it. It will give you up to 2 additional hours of talk time by simply using AA batteries to pump the juice back into your cell's lithium ions. It comes with an AlgorChip, which charges your cellphone's battery safely without damage or risk of fire. Pretty sweet.
